Understanding Eye Dominance

By Chet Sandeksi


If you own a gun and frequently like to hunt animals with it, it would be in your benefit to understand more about eye dominance in order to hone and perfect your skills. It would also help you avoid any incidents, such as when Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a colleague near the heart.

While hunting it is essential that you are able to "keep your eye on the prize," as it were. Animals have better instincts than humans do, and are born knowing how to not attract predators. We need our eyes to ensure that we know what we are aiming at and that we are aiming exactly in the right direction to hit our goal.

The last thing you want to do is use the wrong type of eye drops on your eye. Since each type of eye drop is intended for a particular problem, you have to first figure out the problem before you can determine which product you can use.

Very few people should actually care about this non-exciting, yet coolly scientific discovery. But it proves a point. If you want to be a good archer, you had better learn about your eyes. This applies for any sport that requires aim, including archery, darts, hunting, or any other type of shooting.

You would be surprised at the changes you will notice in your eyes the moment you find something that works. You won't reach this moment of clarity until you decide to see an eye doctor though. When it comes to investing in vision health insurance, you shouldn't hesitate.

On the other hand you may have predominant dominance which means that one eye is predominantly but not fully dominant. Use that eye to look down the rib while aiming. It is advised to keep both of your eyes open and squint one eye as you place the gun on your shoulder.

True cross-dominance means that you have the opposite dominant hand as eye, for example you may be right-handed but have a dominant left eye. This can confuse you while hunting which is why it essential to have your eyes tested. If this is the case for you, close entirely your eye that isn't dominant.

In addition, it is possible that neither of your eyes are dominant at all, much like ambidexterity with your hands. This is referred to as central vision and you should close the eye opposite of the rib. This same advice is applied if you have indeterminate dominance. If you are a hunter, it is recommended that you invest in insurance for vision care, as it well take care of any expenses related to having your eyes tested for dominance.
